WIRE BROILER.

SPECIFICATION" forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,100, dated March 3, 1885.

Application filed March 29, 1854. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL AYREs, of the city and county of WVorcester, State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Wire Broiler, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to wire broilers made usually in two parts or rectangular frames which are looped or hinged together, and provided with handles and a slide or catch, they being designed to hold the articles between them and broil or toast either or both sides, thus being reversible. Its nature is fully shown in the following description and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a broiler; and Fig. 2 shows a section of the end of one of the bars B as it is bent and clasped around the frame and its supplemental guard G.

The frame A is made in the usual way, and has a supplemental strengthening-guard, 0, made, preferably, of twisted wire, with its ends turned and clinched around the sides of the frame, so that the guard 0 lies close to the end of the frame A, to beinclosed and clasped with it by the ends of the longitudinal bars B, said ends and bar being pressed on the twist of the guard 0 between its swells, as shown in Fig. 2, by which means the bars B B are retained from slipping either way along the frame A without other fastening. I

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to patent, is The wire broiler described, consisting of the frames A, having the supplemental guard provided with swells, as described, between which the bends of the bars are pressed when clasped 1 around the frame, and by which they are retained in place, all constructed substantially as and for the purposes above described.
